Thank you so much ❤❤

Your KZbin channel is absolutely brilliant! Incredible books! Inspiring video as always 👍🏻

[@johnsodnc]

Over the past two years I've gotten quite a bit of value out of your channel. While I'm not a Romance fan, I've enjoyed hearing of good Clean Fiction and books that have helped you grow in your walk with the LORD. I actually think you undervalue the recommendations you give and would love to see you monetize through either adding the ability to give on your KZbin Channel or setting up a Patreon channel. I for one would be a paid subscriber. I really enjoy and appreciate the insights that you provide.

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

I really appreciate you sharing this! I have been thinking over what it would look like for me to monetize further. I'll have an update about that in the new year!

[@myfriendmademereadit]

This was such a fun video to watch!! And I think you can reach 50k followers, God can do anything and I feel like there is a wave of people wanting less spicy and less smutty books.

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

Thank you so much! And I love your username 😂😊

[@myfriendmademereadit]

@@OceanaGottaReadEmAll haha thank you!! I started my channel because everyone kept telling me “YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK” and thus the name 🤭

[@mercedeslyons27]

You’re such an inspiration love this channel! It’s truly amazing how God can take one thing and use it for so many great outcomes! Appreciate this honesty and humility of growth and change on your personal life so thankful this channel has helped you as much as it has us! Ephesians 3:20-21: "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen"

I can't believe you've been on here 8 years! I love your content, I haven't been here for long but I have been watching your older videos as well and it's great seeing you and the videos change! 😊 Your content definitely helps me with books to buy/ask for! 😊

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

💛😙

[@susanfryman5156]

You’re such a blessing. Love your content. So thankful you’re a Christian. Nothing is Impossible with God. Praying you get the perfect sponsorship for you. Love that you’re being choosy and cautious. I would love to see you try reading sprints. You would be a great hostess.

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

Thank you so much Susan!

[@wanderingwithstacy]

Your such a joy to watch! I love your reading vlogs, they always make me laugh:)

[@ashleytunny]

I love watching your channel ❤ so exciting to see you grow in the last few years! Keep it up Oceana you’re such a ray of sunshine

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

Thank you Ashley💛 I’m so glad the internet connected us!

[@Jess-pagesandgrace]

So much great advice! I'm with you, I love watching videos discussing booktube. ☺️

[@AlmasBookJourney]

Wow I didn't realize you have been on Booktube for 8 years! That is awesome. I believe you could hit those numbers in the future. I have really enjoyed your channel and your book reviews and recommendations. Every book that you have recommended to me that I have read have been 4 and 5 star reads. You are a shining star on this platform for sure! God bless you on all your future endeavors.

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

Thanks so much Alma!

[@BookLoverAmanda]

8 years❤❤❤so thankful for your channel and for your friendship sister

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

🥰😘😘

[@tracyllewellyn-davies5708]

Your content is great. I have bought a number of christian romance books off your recommendations. I wasn't sure if I should read powerless but I have the books and cannot wait to start them. Keep up the fab content ❤

[@BeYOUtifulBooks]

You have truly inspired me to start my own channel such an exciting journey! Thanks for being a shining light encouraging so many 🫶🏻

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

Yes🩷🩷🩷

[@jkrausz3]

You’re my favorite Christian booktuber and the only one whose videos I can watch all the way through. And romance is not my top genre, but I do like it and you vlog about a lot of really good books that are not primarily romance too! Keep it up. I really hope you get to 50,000 one day!

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

This means a lot to me. Thank you so much💛

[@FaithfullyTee]

Love this! You were definitely the one who encouraged me to start my channel! I love your spirit! Praying for you to grow and prosper ❤

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

🥰 thanks Tee!

[@RachelJenkins3]

I love all your videos! You've helped me get back into reading more again. I am trying to get my 10 year old son to read more than comic novels, and my reading more has spured him to read more regular books. It's almost like a competition on who finishes their book first, lol.

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

That’s so great!!

[@renewingwords]

You make a good point about your ability to connect in your real life relationships. I was afraid for a long time that doing social media would hurt my ability to be present in my real life. I'm only starting to see that it might help me express myself better with people. I don't get much practice talking about books I enjoy because my irl friends are not people who tend to read much. I think doing booktube is giving me space not to be so much of a pushover to everybody else's interests and ironically I'm more present because I have the confidence to give my two cents on situations.

[@BookLoverAmanda]

❤❤❤part of the life now yess

[@cblank777]

Oceana, I just found your channel yesterday. I truly feel like God led me to you, a young, female, Christian role model to strengthen my faith. Thank you!! I have so many good clean historical fiction recommendations if you need any!

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

Aw welcome here❤ it amazes me how God is working in this space online 🥰

[@IreneTerenteva]

Special thank you for regular content! It makes an impression that you are always here for us, and this thought is really comforting ❤

[@Jolly.Joy_Rose]

Wow, I can’t believe it’s going to be 9 years for you! I found you last year and because of you have found other Booktubers ❤ I’m so excited to keep watching your channel grow! We have similar book taste, I enjoy watching reading vlogs over a sit down review because often I find people start forgetting about it since you read so many other books. In a reading vlog it’s nice to see how you fit reading into your day to day life too

[@talesandtreatswithtay]

I love your reading vlogs Oceana 💖

[@LexiBetweenTheLines]

I’ve loved your channel for so long Oceana! Thank you so much for what you share 🙏 I love knowing that when I come to your channel I’m going to hear about books that I can trust are probably going to be ones that align with my values and are what I like to read. Keep being your amazing self! ❤️

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

You’re so kind, thank you! 🥰💓

[@NightingalePaperCo]

Hi Oceana! I really enjoyed this video and seeing how much passion and love you have for your channel ❤ I for one have been seriously blessed by all your videos since I found you a few months ago. I agree with previous comments that you could set up a Patreon to help grow/fund your channel. I would love to be able to contribute! Thank you as well for the tips on starting a booktube channel. I have been toying with the idea of starting one for a long time but I'm nervous (so ironic because I already have one KZbin channel that is 4 years old and pretty successful, lol). But Booktube just seems more difficult because there are so many amazing channels already. I'll keep praying about it and asking for guidance 🥰

[@NightingalePaperCo]

P.S. This is super random but I just got back from a vacation on North Carolina's Outer Banks and while there I saw a restaurant called Oceana's Bistro 😄 Of course I thought of you right away! I have never heard your name anywhere else but on your channel before so I thought that was really neat!

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

Your comments are always so lovely and encouraging! You’re so kind, thank you💛

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

That’s so cool!!

[@BookLoverAmanda]

If we can help one person it’s worth it❤amen sister

[@Mary_Moos]

Please know you’re a rolmodel for the younger women/girls. There’s so much out there, and because of you they also know what books are safe to read!

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

I've always admired how confident, well-spoken, and authentic you are! Even though our book tastes don't always align, I enjoy listening to you talk about whatever lol! ❤

Thanks Tay💛
